russia cannot refer to the u.n. charter to explain what it is doing against us, against ukraine, ukrainian people. in fact, in rusha's -- way, it does refer to the charter but that's simply insane. russia stayed silent because it couldn't explain why a russian michael recently struck a grain ship bound for an egyptian port through the black sea. rusha either stays silent or lies about why it's drones and missiles are found in the air space of poland. moldova, romania. every day, you canians are -- ukrainians are wounded and killed. every day. today once again russian bombs hit retial buildings. -- resident differential buildings. even an or their bread factorry became a target. putin has no answer and russia never, never has an honest answer when asked why it's army kills children in ukraine. damages schools and hospitals -- destroys schools and hospitals. putin has nothing to say. if you ask him why, he tries to drag bell rustic -- belarus into the war. or why russia invests the most not in human development but in

the u.n. secretary general condemned countries feeling entitled to invade others. >> today a growing number of governments and others feel entitled to get out of jail free card. they can thumb their nose at international humanitarian law and can invade another country, lay waste to societies or actively disregard the welfare of their own people. and nothing will happen. >> dana: eric shawn is outside united nations headquarters in manhattan. what's the scene like down there? >> yes, president biden about to take the podium in the general assembly. you may hear the police helicopters that always signal the arrival of the commander-in-chief. across the street the protestors rally against radical islamic terrorism funded by iran. iranian president will take the same podium later this afternoon. in remarks to reporters he blames israel for the middle east conflict saying iran does not want to get into a war with israel. his predecessor was killed in a helicopter crash and has only been in office f

the idea of the u.n.was has below was supposed to withdraw its personnel, their weaponry, all of those things north of the river. that would provide this buffer zone so lebanon, keeping them away from the border and preserving israel's security in the south. as the years have gone on, hezbollah have been in that area. they have been very close to the border. that is what israel have said they are trying to do now. after the seventh of october, the very next day on the eighth after we saw those devastating attacks in southern israel. we started to get this cross-border fire between lebanon and israel. i remember it very clearly because i was there and remember watching the rockets go. so tens of thousands in northern israel were moved out of their homes at that point. i thought people packinup their things and fleeing. the same as we have seen people in southern lebanon over the last week or so. israel changed its war aims pray they said returning the people to the north of israel to their homes was someth

u.n.n yesterday and we asked him about the fact we are hearing from both the israelis and hezbollah this instance -- this insistence of continuing strikes and he says it is not helpful. mr. price: our goal is not to characterize language and to say what is helpful and not. our goal is to see people on both sides of the border, tens of thousands of them have been forced from their homes. our goal is to see them return to their homes. ever since october 8, if you remember how this started, on october 7, hamas launched its attack. on october 8, hezbollah forces started sending rockets and forces into israel. tens of thousands of innocent civilians, israelis and lebanese, have been forced from their homes. we want them to return to their homes. they will be able to return to their homes as long as rockets are being fired into israel and as long as the shelling is ongoing from the other side. our goal is to bring the parties together, to have that diplomacy. sumi: one more question. is the u.s.

and that's when the u.n. secretary general turned against israel. maybe, you know, the u.n. has always been arguably biased against israel, but that's when everything turned. and joe biden stuck with them, but now people publicly in the administration are on the record saying we don't know what our closeiest ally is doing. >> that's particularly striking from the president's remarks earlier this day, his fourth and final time addressing the general assembly. he wanted to make this a message about the power of those alliances, these relationships. but really today as much as anything, demonstrated the limitations of those alliances, as well. as the world is witnessing what israel is doing with real concerns, as you indicated from the state department officials and others about the situation that's now continuing to escalate in lebanon. the president, though, continuing to make the case, trying to make the argument if we get a cease-fire and a hostage deal, this can all be resolved. but we have been waiting for resolution now, approaching a full year. there were a couple of ot

he said the u.n. security council failed to achieve the most important objective. he criticized israel for its military actions saying thousands of palestinian civilians were killed and lebanon faced a new page of regional conflict. this is about 20 minutes. these goals include the maintenance of international security, stability and human rights. today we are witnessing in which international charters and norms are being violated. the national institution to managing and organizing international relations in a way that enhances peace and stability and human relations away from violence and brutal treatment are being utilized. important presumes such as sovereignty, territorial integrity, the laws of wars, humanitarian laws and the international humanitarian law and responsibility to protect and the right to self-determination have been ignored. the world is being pushed toward full confrontation and conflict while the u.n. security council is powerless. in the absence of this responsibility, alternative mechanisms may be resorted to and ignoring these institutions

lots to get to, but we start with president biden in the u.n.ing a case for global unity at a time when wars in gaza and ukraine can make it feel like things are falling apart. the war in gaza, almost a year old, and israel launched more strikes today following its deadliest attacks in lebanon in nearly two decades, children, 50 of them, and two u.n. staffers have been killed that's according to lebanon's health minister. that crisis is likely to overshadow other subjects on the u.n. agenda. and while president biden once again called for it, prospects before he leaves office appeared dim. so it was against that backdrop that the president got uncharacteristically personal, reflecting on his division to leave office and offering it as an example to other world leaders. >> i is decided after 50 years of public service, it's time for a new generation to take my nation forward. my fellow leaders, let us never forget, some things are more important than staying in power. it's your people.

the u.n. security council passed a resolution that said hezbollah was supposed to disarm, was supposed to move north of the river, the 20 miles within lebanon. they never do it. the israelis have to react. they've got to push back on hezbollah. they've got to let the families return to the border region around lebanon. i give the odds to the israelis right now. they've damaged the leadership of hezbollah and they've damaged the military organization as well. but that's where you're going to see the fight continue. maria: they truly decimated the leadership of hezbollah over the last week. you mentioned that one incident where israel was able to get in the supply chain and have those pagers and devices blow up simultaneously and thats was certainly effective for israel. interesting that the white house comes out, they say we knew nothing about it. i spoke with secretary mike pompeo over the weekend on sunday morning futures. he took note of the fact thats israel is no longer sharing key informa
